Notes

• The reference card and the Scheme cards are the only rules sources for this set. This document reproduces their printed text and does not add rules beyond it.
• The meaning of the coloured symbols that are not new to this set (cogs, cameras, signals, lightning bolt, jets, the pink vehicle) comes from the base Thunderbirds game and is not restated here.
• The card backs, numerals ("Scheme III", "Scheme IV", "Scheme V") and the publisher and branding marks on the cards are not rules text and are not transcribed.
